Communities across the state are seeing evidence of Ohio's rebounding economy, which produces the added benefit of increased revenues for our local communities. You can see this reflected by more and more news headlines that say "revenues up, expenses down," "better" revenues and "elimination" of deficits at the local level. This growing trend not only is reason to celebrate, given the tight budgets local governments saw in the wake of the recent recession, it also reminds us of the powerful, positive impact a thriving economy can have at the grassroots level of our state.
